Description of Magnolia Top
Magnolia Top is a lacy top designed to welcome the long-awaited warmer seasons. It has a wide neck with the delicate lace pattern incorporated into the raglan sleeves, with the top neatly bordered by garter ridges. Magnolia Top is designed to be loose-fitting, with comfortable airy sleeves that can be adjusted to give a short-sleeved top or a long-sleeves jumper. The top is knitted top-down seamlessly.

Notes about the Pattern
The pattern is in written instructions, detailing the lace pattern as you knit the raglan yoke raglan increases. Once the raglan increases are completed and you work the yoke without further increases to the stated (or desired) height, the lace pattern round that you separate the sleeves from the body can be vary for each knitter. A Stitch Guide for the lace is included in the pattern to help in picking up and knitting the sleeves.
